Mike Pence attended a church service in Memphis, Tennessee, on Sunday. He took to the pulpit of the Holy City Church of God in Christ to say a few words, including paying tribute to Dr Martin Luther King on the day before MLK Day.
The event was streamed live on the White House YouTube channel.

Shortly after Pence left the pulpit, one of the bishops officiating at the service, church-founder Bishop Jerry Wayne Taylor, addressed the congregation. He went on to state that homosexual attraction is due to demonic forces.
How about we take this to the next level?

His comments begin around the 2hr 43minute mark. He says the devil is trying to destroy the family and institution of marriage.
“Two men can’t have a baby. Two women can’t have a baby.”
He goes on to say, “We have to encourage young men and women to get married. It’s a demonic spirit that causes a woman to want to lie with another woman. It’s a demonic spirit that causes a man to be attracted to another man.
“If a man gets attracted to me, he’s gonna be in trouble. Don’t put your hands on me! Amen. God didn’t make us for that.
“He made a man to be a man. If you want to know what God made you, when you go to the bathroom, just check your plumbing. What kind of plumbing are you using?”
The congregation are heard shouting ‘Amen’ to his remarks.
Bishop Taylor goes on to claim – falsely – that you never see homosexual behavior in animals. Therefore, it’s not natural.
“You never see two male animals coming together. Animals have not left the place that God called them to be in, they stay in that place. We’ve got to expose what the devil is doing, y’all.”
Scientists have observed homosexual sexual activity, same-sex couplings or parenting pairs in over 450 according to a 1999 book, Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity, specifically on the subject.

Before Taylor’s sermon, Pence had sung the bishop’s praises in building the church up from just three families praying in their living room 32 years ago to the large congregation it enjoys today. It’s unclear whether Pence remained in the congregation for Taylor’s sermon or left immediately after his speech.

One of the other bishops speaking at the event, Bishop Vincent Mathews Jr., praised Pence for his attendance.
“People criticize him for believing the Bible. They hate him for believing.”
Mathews went on to call Pence, “one of the most persecuted Christians in America.”

I wish I could say I was shocked, but not one bit. This is the pit of vipers we thrust into office. Our only… ONLY recourse is to vote in November as if our lives depended on it.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
The Orange Puppet has made a Faustian bargain with the noxious smcubag evangelicals. He would do everything in his power to abolish abortion and roll back all the progress we have made in the past 30 years. Designate Gays as immoral, dangerous and not worthy of any protections. Many of these puddles of puke advocate imprisoning and even the death penalty for Gays. Part of the deal was Pence, who is a true believer and even more dangerous as opposed to the Pandering Puppet. He is destined to be become POTUS in 2024 according to the blueprint they have laid out.
One would look at the blatant disgusting attacks and think they were occurring in a backwards third world country.
I saw an interview with one of these sub human cretins advocating the death penalty for Gays. When asked about all the young kids coming out and if they too should be put to death he replied the moment anyone publicly declares they are Gay they must be put to death….

I do hope the LCR are taking notice of their heroes. But then again no one listens to the LCR anyway, not even their own party.

LCR are apologists one and all. They would claim that the GOP is the “party of Lincoln” and “the big tent” even as they were being stoned to death.
It is just like the right wingers who come here, cannot actually support their political heroes, and so must deflect or dissemble.
It is amusing how they cling to the GOP, despite the obvious desire of that party to force them back into the closet.

Baptists are the worst. They’re too stupid to know Devil Mike was there like the serpent to get their votes, leave, then tell them to go back to their sh*th*le country. Brains people. God gave ya one, think for yourself. You want to be a bigot, hmm, don’t ask for my sympathy, charlatant.

I wonder what MLK would have to say about Mike Pence’s endorsement?
charlieeod74
I would imagine that he would something like this, get ther behind me Satan. You can tell Mike Pence had a penis in his mouth while in college it scared him so much that he went bat shit evangelical crazy.

This is why it’s so imperative to impeach and remove Trump so we can have President Pence in charge.

I have said since before the 2016 election that Mike Pence is Donald Trump’s life insurance policy. No one in their right mind (do you hear me, Ms. Pelosi?) can want Pence anywhere near the Oval Office.
